Wish i found this Q &A before. So many beautiful people advising and sharing here! I am Repainting Tropical Queenslander with dark red and orangy timber floors and this thread is so helpful. I painted Whisper white and it is throwing so much Green it makes me so sad I am going to repaint. I get loads of tropical sun in the north facing - with eastern morning sunlight. Was just about to go and buy Natural White just to cover it. Do you think it will be too dull/warm a colour. I do like a fresh feel and contrasting with vivid white decorative trims. The whisper white looks nice For a while in the morning while the morning sunlight throws read up onto it but then it returns to a green

Thanks @mcmahonandnerlich for your considered response! Yours is about the only positive feedback I've had for Vivid White!! I love the cleanness of the test areas we've done but am a bit nervous that we might find it too clinical. Also a bit concerned our bedroom may dazzle our socks off as it will get afternoon sun in winter! Can you allay my fears?! And are you at all familiar with Snowy Mountains Quarter? It has a smidge of black and ochre in it, so is a tad warmer but not as warm as Natural White. Finally, do I need to be worried about the impact of our charcoal polished concrete and charcoal carpet on the final paint choice? If the paint has any black in it will the dark floors bring it out in the paint? Sorry to bombard you but your comments were so apt ... Thanks in advance!

I did the same colour pallet as your describing on a new build. Black kitchen window frames, concrete floors and timber accents. Not quite finished yet but I'm happy. Must tell you that Laminex have just brought out a matt black that doesn't show fingerprints for your black kitchen cabinets. Basically I used concrete, accent colour was black, all walls and ceilings in Whisper white and then added timber. Hope this helps.

How exciting for you to have such a clean clear slate to work with. Your room a somewhat like mine in a house we have just renovated and I had some great advice from our project manager/designer. We also have a huge window with an amazing outlook, one we didn't want to hide but needed covering at night. She helped us choose full sized curtains in a sheer texture that softened the room but even when the curtains are closed, still allow the outside view and colours to show. They stack back to either side of the window. Of course the roller blind is ideal for privacy and it is so well hidden when retracted. When your curtains are open it looks like you have the beautiful piece of art with that view. When our curtains are open we have a lake and huge jacaranda outside so I placed a piece of Indigenous art on the opposite wall which bought in colour, particularly the mauve of the jacaranda, to the room. Not sure what your fourth wall is like but would there be room to put your existing green based art on that wall, to reflect the outside green. The chair in the room is probably a little large but there is no sense putting it in the other corner unless your are ready to drag it across the room when you want to watch tv (when everyone else is watching something on the other tv). What about moving your plant into the corner beside the tv on a raised stand. With a smaller chair and the plant moved then two large freestanding lamps would look great. Can't wait to see your new artwork and where your room goes from here. I hope my photos help with my explanation, note the jacaranda was at the end of its flowering. We have since finished the room and introduced a little more colour.
